"Western is a simple low cost resource in Dawson; good value for money. Clean, safe. AC worked well in both heating and cooling mode. There were a few minor bobbles. No shampoo in bathroom. No blanket on the bed other than the sheets and coverlet. Minor issues; the clerk gave us some shampoo, and we just turned up the AC heater overnight. Next day the cleaning staff brought a very nice duvet and an extra pillow - above the grade of amenity we would expect in an economy facility."
